Zorgan Pox

Level: 5

Progress: Pale, pea-sized poxes appear on the whole body the first day. After that, the poxes turn red and are accompanied by increasing fever, nausea, and weakness. The poxes swell with purulent liquid and break open on the 13th day, to the accompaniment of strong fever. If the infected survives, the poxes heal but leave scars.

Resistance: Toughness

Incubation Time: 13 days

Damage: 1D6 DP (ignoring PRO) per day after the third, weakness (3 levels of the condition Stupor). 2D6 DP (ignoring PRO) on the 13th day / 1D6 DP (ignoring PRO) per day after the third, weakness (2 levels of Stupor).

Duration: 13 days / 5 days

Cause: Considered a curse sent by the Nameless One. Contact with the infected (1-2 on 1D20, or 10%), caring for someone who is infected (1-10 on 1D20, or 50%). You can contract zorgan pox only once in your life. If characters suffer the disease’s full effects, the resulting scars lower their appearance by one level (from normal to Ugly I, from Good Looks II to Good Looks I, and so on).

Treatment: Bedrest and caring for the fever (1DP less per day). Gulmond tea reduces the damage taken on the 13th day to 1D6 DP (ignoring PRO).

Cure: Covering the pox with xordai decoction. If the disease check is successful and the disease takes full effect, applying the decoction lessens the disease’s effect (apply the effects listed after the slash under Damage). If the disease check fails, the disease is cured at once.
